Speaking of real time GPS, my grandfather INSISTS that there is one girl who is assigned to me, and just sits somewhere awaiting for me to input an address, which she calculates a route for me and inputs to the vehicle. I tried explaining that it is mapping software, but that was futile....

Re: What changes would you like to see in the new '06 Escalades?

-Power rear hatch
-cooled seats and cup holders
-2nd row seats need more movement
-more wood on dash
-overhead video inputs need to be underseat
-powered cargo cover would be nice
-be able to use wireless headphones with radio/xm/cd changer, not just dvd player
-lower the back end
-navigation that plays dvd's
-one touch closing of sunroof (not just opening)
-keyless start
-keep the Bose, but increase size of subwoofer to at least an 8" (needs more bass)

for ext: stainless steel or chrome exhoust tips with the option of getting dual tips, larger size wheels, more wood in the interior, more hp, different grill options, and an option to get chrome tow hooks. other than that i am satisfied with my ext.

Oh wait the 2002 model had all of this... the 2003 did have dual box lights... the 2004 had none of these... With the exception of the cabin filter (and I can't believe it cost that much) how much did this really save? Does it really make sense to cut corners on one of your flagship vehicles?

Beyond the above, I would agree with most of what everyone else has listed.

Make the truck shift right when accelerating, so you dont here that clacking noise. You beleive that for me to get this update I have to drive to the US. ITs still not aproved by gm canada.
Anyway Hid fog lamps, update the interior, radio is good, ext rear power window, ext power lock for trunk and side compartments.

Re: What changes would you like to see in the new '06 Escalades?

Just my thoughts, i would think that the Escalades MUST have most of these as standard items on the new series. It must contain more HP & TQ, express windows and roof both ways and all windows, power rear latch, better sound, better nav, seats heated and cooled, remote start, better rims & wheels, power fold flat seats 2nd and 3rd row, and not loose and more features from current.
This all should be standard with no price increase since competitors will be at this point with other vehicles.
Options needed should be upgraded light HID for everything including fog, REAR VIEW CAMERA!!!( MUST BE OPTION, AND MUCH NEEDED) keyless start, second sunroof.
